Bachelor of Humanities and Arts (BHA)

The Bachelor of Humanities and Arts (BHA) degree program is sponsored by Carnegie Mellon's College of Humanities and Social Sciences (H&SS) and College of Fine Arts (CFA). It's designed for talented students who want to develop their interest in the fine arts while also pursuing studies in the humanities and social/behavioral sciences.

Students choose their fine arts concentration from among the five CFA schools: Architecture, Art, Design, Drama, or Music. Students choose their humanities and social sciences concentration from the list of majors and minors offered by H&SS, or by self-designing an interdepartmental concentration.

The most important aspect of the BHA program is for students to blend their interests, and to explore the connections between their chosen disciplines. The program also provides enough flexibility for students to broaden or deepen their concentrations, and to explore other areas in which they may be interested.

The BHA curriculum has three main components: general education requirements, fine arts concentration requirements, and humanities/social sciences concentration requirements. Students receive extensive advising support, and each student's course of study is unique.
